As previously reported, Mr Cavill won the silver medal at the Gardeners' World Live event at the NEC in Birmingham for his garden called: 'A World Beyond The Classroom'.

Together with budding gardens, he helped to turn an overgrown section of the school field into a garden complete with a rainbow of different fruits and vegetables.

Stephanie Danby 10, said: "Today we have grown little grandad original spinach - I have not tried it before but I am looking forward to once it has grown."

The youngster who helps to grow her own vegetables at home said she loved the new school garden.

She added: "I think it is amazing and it's all ours."

Ewart Gibbs, headteacher at the school, said: "It is absolutely unbelievable - it had come a long way since Christmas when the idea was first put forward."
